Our data is very precious to us. We take steps to protect sensitive files from prying eyes. When we delete our old files, we sometimes get into the habit of thinking that they are gone forever. This isn’t always the case. Anyone who has the right software and knows what they’re doing can potentially uncover some stuff that we thought was truly erased from the drive. Some are more concerned about this than others, but if you’re into taking security precautions, check out UltraShredder.

The name of this program brings to mind the device known as a paper shredder. This tool is useful for destroying print documents, but when it comes to the digital realm, a program like UltraShredder is a good start. By simply selecting a file to shred, the program overwrites it 199 times with random characters, saves it to disk each time, and then finally erases the program by bypassing the Recycle Bin. This process severely disables anyone from seeing even a minute amount of useful information where the file used to be. A simple, no-nonsense interface tops the program off. Nice.
